CHICAGO. Ill, Arril 27.-The big wheat del
showed evidence of going to pieces to day. II
is possible that the care over the posslDlity Oh
a squeeze in May delivery has not enurey
pas ed but frequently free selling by members
| of the bull clique frightened the growing Class
| of small holders and developed panicky ana
uncertain feeling in the pit. Ihis was especially
| true at the opening, when offerings were very
heavy The starting price for May delivery
was 84l{c, but values dropped OF 30 rapidly
that parties having stop orders to NIL couIa NOT
execute them at anywhere near Ine IIhlts
given. 1t was not matter of price-the trou
RIe was to find BUYERS; everybody was selling
and no one cared TO buy, and prices dropped OH
| 1{0I5c At the time the impression had gone
out before the opening that cHSuG+ WEI" we're
about to sci, and for the hrst rev
minutes there was scramble reallZeu, seIuOlh
witnessed on 'Change. May declined 24c 10
| SIC while June declined lC and July 3 g. Dur
ing the excitement May dropped to &c below
June, thou n this premium was subsequently
narrowed down /, ain. When selling ceased 10
some extent operators began 10 compare h oo
and they came to the conclusion Ghat some
firms identified with the clique hAd bought very
freely of June, and this caused tirmer teellng'
May advanced 13ac, June q and July 26c. IN
! the afternoon, however. selling was again OF
| the fiercest description, and May dropped 10
Sl3Ic and closed for the day at SIC, or &c lower
than yesterday June lc 10 yer and July 3acIoWer
